Faux Wood Workshop

Adding a Faux Wood Corbel to your project may be easier than you think. Check out the guide below to see how one can be added to your project in just a few simple steps.

1.		2.		3.
Measure the inside dimensions of the corbel.		Cut a Block of wood (not supplied) to fit the inside dimension of the corbel.		Install the block of wood where you want the corbel to go.
4.		5.		6.
Apply the industrial strength glue or PL premium construction adhesive on the edges of the corbels.		Slide the corbel into place over the block of wood.		Use screws through the corbel into the block of wood on both sides of the corbel. Countersink the screws slightly. Screws hold the corbel in place while the glue dries
7.
Fill in the screw holes with the colored caulk or colored wood filler. Finished!

An entry about straps? Why would we give that much attention to a little piece of rubber? Great question.  The answer?  For all the looks you can achieve with our Faux Beams, and how handy they are.

Reach for straps especially when you have two beams that you want to butt up to one another.

The strap hides the seam and you are left with the appearance of one long beam.

Plus it adds a surprising decorative element. They are so easy to cut to fit, and install.

Some ideas:

You can use the straps even when you don’t have a seam, just to achieve the look.

You can add straps to either end of the beam to give the look that the straps are holding the beam up.
